Alright, I'm embarking on a journey to purchase my 2nd suit and I decided it MUST be a navy. Pinstripe or solid either way a navy suit.

On Gilt(I know, I know), they have Hickey's which I read is a discontinued, half-canvassed, slim fit suit for 499-599 and apparently there's a 20% for member invite so yeah.

How slim do these run? Similar to BB's Fitz or Milano?

Or would I be better of getting the LBM 1911 or their mainline Luigi Bianchi Mantova? After some researching it seems like LBM 1911 runs fairly slim and short(think 29" on Rs) which is good as I'm a strictly 38S and anything beyond 29" is too long. No idea of their mainline though.

As such, I've been having a hard time getting stuff at a good price as suits that fit well are always too damn long.
